Yellow lines indicate the edge of the lumen. (B, D, F) Normalized number of extravasated neutrophils in microfluidic devices preincubated with 0, 10, or 100 ng/mL IL-6 responding to (B) P. aeruginosa , (D) L. monocytogenes , or (F) S. aureus . Data quantified from 14 devices for 0 ng/mL, 13 devices for 10 ng/mL, and 10 devices for 100 ng/mL across 4 independent experiments and 3 neutrophil donors for P. aeruginosa . Data quantified from 15 devices for 0 ng/mL, 13 devices for 10 ng/mL, and 13 devices for 100 ng/mL across 4 independent experiments and 3 neutrophil donors for S. aureus . Data quantified from 11 devices for 0 ng/mL, 13 devices for 10 ng/mL, and 12 devices for 100 ng/mL across 4 independent experiments and 3 neutrophil donors for L. monocytogenes . All IL-6 conditions were compared to each other at each time point. Conditions at each time point were compared with a one-way ANOVA and then Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) post-hoc test was used to calculate p-values. Error bars indicate the mean ± SEM. * indicates significance between the 0 and 10 ng/mL conditions at the same time point where p<0.05. † indicates significance between the 0 and 100 ng/mL conditions at the same time point where p<0.05. # indicates significance between the 10 and 100 ng/mL conditions at the same time point where p<0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative maximum intensity projections of confocal images of HUVECs seeded in microfluidic devices and incubated with 0, 10, and 100 ng/mL IL-6 for 2 hours (A) with no bacteria and (C) with P. aeruginosa . Cells were fixed and stained with Hoechst (nuclei, blue), phalloidin (actin, red), and anti-VE-cadherin (tight junctions, gray) (scale bar = 250 μm). Images were thresholded in ImageJ to visualize the differences in VE-cadherin. Representative raw images used for protein expression analysis can be found in Figure S2. (B, D) Fold change of VE-cadherin expression was calculated by dividing the total fluorescence intensity of un-thresholded images for each condition by the total fluorescence intensity for the 0 ng/mL IL-6 condition of the corresponding biological replicate. Fold change values for each biological replicate were averaged together and then all IL-6 conditions were compared to each other at each time point. Conditions at each time point were compared using a one-way ANOVA and then p-values were determined using Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test. Error bars indicate the mean ± SEM. (B) Data quantified from 9 devices for 0 ng/mL, 8 devices for 10 ng/mL, and 7 devices for 100 ng/mL across 4 independent experiments for protein expression when not exposed to bacteria. (D) Data quantified from 8 devices for 0 ng/mL, 9 devices for 10 ng/mL, and 8 devices for 100 ng/mL across 3 independent experiments for protein expression when exposed to P. aeruginosa .
